Short:        YAM Web interface - Access YAM via WWW
Author:       thomas.s@bluea.de (Thomas Hirsch)
Uploader:     thomas s bluea de (Thomas Hirsch)
Type:         comm/www
Version:      0.8
Requires:     YAM 2.3+, Apache, ARexx
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

This script is for those who can access their Amiga from the WWW and
want to use YAM as an "Internet Mailer".

At first to mention: This script is based on the Work of Jacob Laursen.
He gave me the permission to work on his WebYAM email script.

WebYAM is a CGI script (written in ARexx) to access YAM folders from a web
browser. To use the script you must install a web server, i.e. Apache. A
static Internet connection would also come in handy, since there's really
no reason to access your YAM folders from a local browser. ;-)

Since I only made the script for my own use, I haven't bothered to write a
lot of documentation. In fact, this readme is all you get. But here's some
hints about how to get started:

- In the top of the script itself, change YAMPath and Cfg.#? to your
  needs.

- Do not rename the script.

- In your web server, make sure the directory WebYAM is placed in is
  password-protected. There's no built-in security! Please do not ask
  me how to setup your web server.

Thanks to Ash Thomas for the NewIcons (he kindly gave me permission to
include them in the archive, after I converted them to GIF).

KNOWN BUGS:

- The URL linker is not perfect yet, but should be sufficient for most
  common references.
- If mail is sent the script says "Successfully sent" every time.
  Even if it was not :-(

FUTURE:

- rewrite the compose functionality
- use attachments
- perhaps frames (write me if you think it's OK)

Have fun,
 Thomas Hirsch

Please write an emil to me, if you are using this script. Just because
I want to know if my work is useful for others. My motivation increases
with the number ov mails I get...
